Total Solar Eclipse 4/8/24

[rgfixit]

  City says 500k people with be coming to Rochester for the eclipse. The city population is only 209k. That’s gonna be a mess.

Sure glad I don’t commute into the city any more. We’ll be quite comfortable with a ring side seat in our back yard  in Macedon. Planning a nice campfire, cocktails and burgers on the Weber.

Should be a fun day.

98.5 percent coverage at my location in Indiana. Good enough for me. I've invited a couple of friends down from Northern Michigan from my college days. We'll just sit out on the deck and watch. 20 percent change of showers.

Doubt seriously will be that many people coming to see it get dark for few minutes...anyways I'll be way away from city

Well Ben, news says every hotel and motel room in the county is booked.that says something. Weather now calls for cloud cover from 2-6. It’ll be fun anyway.
